Pain Management Design Challenges
How to correlate entities with processes
How to visually show the relationships between entities and the processes
Generating the data dictionary to prepare for handling the medical records for the procedures
Design the database schema to properly extract the data from the entity to generate a patient visit to create a unique case number
design chosen – Rationale - limitations
Entity relationship model visually represents entities, attributes, and relationships to produce the ERD.
Easily understood by non-technical individuals
Provides great value to technical people
Platform independent and can even be used for non-relational databases
To create an efficient ERD, technological tools and well developed software will be needed
